- CMChris M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsFirst time user , long time subscriber
Recently used shield post recovery of my fine art tattoo and found it superb so far. Product absorbs really well with no greasy residue , smells natural which I like and gives me confidence I’m protecting the artwork I paid so much for (with my body and $ 😂) and want to keep as defined as possible for aslong as possible. Looking forward to using more products. Love it
- CFCraig F.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat daily cream that has given me more confidence in the sun!
I wrote a review on the LUME product, but also wanted to share a separate review on SHIELD as I have been using both products in combination.
After using SHIELD for a month I am so much more confident with my tattoo's in the sun. I don't love the feeling of oily suncreams and because of that I was covering my tattoo's with long sleeve shirts regularly.
SHIELD provides the protection from UV rays and is the perfect daily cream I need to be active in the sun without needing to cover up.
It's an exceptionally high-quality cream. The difference between applying this and other lotions is night and day. It absorbs easily, feels great on the skin, and leaves a noticeably better finish without any greasy residue.
- MMarioVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Tattoo Care Product I’ve Ever Used
I’ve tried a lot of tattoo-care and skincare products over the years, and SkinGraphica SHIELD is easily the best I’ve used.
The cream feels incredibly premium, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any greasy residue. Since using it, my tattoos look noticeably more vibrant, sharper, and better defined, while my skin feels healthier and well protected.
What I love most is that it combines effective tattoo protection with luxurious skincare in one product. It applies effortlessly, feels lightweight on the skin, and is perfect for everyday use.
The packaging is also exceptional—sleek, sophisticated, and worthy of a premium skincare brand. Every aspect of the product reflects quality, from the presentation to the performance.
If you’re serious about preserving the appearance of your tattoos, I highly recommend SkinGraphica SHIELD. It’s a standout product that genuinely delivers on its promises and has become an essential part of my daily routine.
- BBBob B.Rated 5 out of 5 starsQuality product, created just for tattoos...and it works
With some of my newer tattoos my wife and I were looking for products specifically made for Tattoo aftercare and surprisingly didn't find much on the market. I'm really appreciating shield since it has SPF, protects our newer ink and makes the tattoos feel and look really good. I'm about a month into using it and really like the product so far I also appreciate the backstory of the company and the care they put into their product and packaging. Congrats on the success of their team over there.
- JJerremyRated 5 out of 5 starsNon-oily and hydrating
Have been using Shield for the last few weeks. It's been perfect in the Australian sun; it absorbs perfectly and leaves my skin feeling smooth and doesn't have an oily residue which is perfect.
